Jeopardy Contestants Miss the Easiest Question About Holiday World

Jeopardy is without a doubt my favorite game show. Not only do I watch it as often as I can, but I also like to play along, shouting out my answers (questions, actually) from the comfort of my recliner. I get a decent amount of responses right, sometimes even when none of the contestants know the answer. Let me tell you about one of those times.

The Jeopardy-Holiday World Shocker

During a recent episode, there was a category called "Are We Having Fun Yet?" The $600 clue was a picture of the mascot named Holidog, and a question about his Indiana theme park. Of course, I scream out, "HOLIDAY WORLD!" expecting someone else to also give the correct response. I was surprised, nay, shocked to see that none of the three contestants even took a guess. How could they NOT know about Holiday World?!

Sometimes You Need a Little Perspective

This situation was a topic of conversation around the proverbial water cooler here at work. I initially couldn't understand how the question went unanswered, but I found a new perspective after talking to a few folks. I realized that's probably the kind of question that only someone from Southern Indiana, or at least the Midwest, would know the answer to. While we know and love Holiday World, the rest of the country just may not be that familiar.

Could You Answer These Hoosier-Only Questions?

So, that got me thinking about some other questions that might be featured on Jeopardy, that only Hoosiers might get correct. So I turned to our friends in the machine (ChatGPT) and asked it to come up with some brain teasers. Check 'em out below and see if you can answer correctly - without cheating!
